TAMPA, FLA. (WSVN) - A Tampa homeowner found an unexpected animal in her home.
Paula Tyler called 911 after hearing a noise in her closet.
She said a raccoon came through the attic of her home.
“This light fixture fell down,” Tyler said. “I heard the noise. The raccoon was in the corner hanging on the curtain itself.”
A Tampa officer responded to the home and tried to capture the raccoon.
Bodycam video showed the officer attempting to get a hold of the raccoon as they ran around the house.
After giving the officer a runaround, the critter was finally chased out of the home, but not before nipping the officer in the hand.
